,QQ/ATTORNEY The strain and shock that would otherwise be felt on the long arm 26 of the lever is taken up by the spring 30, and the set-screw 33 maintains the normal rigidity of said arm. The rotatable arbor-carrying head 1 is locked in its two positions (represented by the notches 2t of the plate 24) by means of.

the lever 86, whose upper end carries the locking-bolt 37, Figs. 1 and 3, which bolt engages with a notch (not shown) in said head. The lower end of this lever carries the roll 38, adapted to engage with the cam-groove 89 inthe inner vertical face of the gear 17..

a0 is a spring having one end connected to the pin l-l, projecting from the locking-bolt, while its other end is anchored to a fixed point outside, so as to exert an upper pressure or pull, on said bolt.

d2 Fi gs. 1, 2, 4:, and 9, is the cutter-arbor carrying the cutters l3. This arbor is journaled in the upper end of the armstd and 4:5, and these arms are rigidly secured to the rock-shaft d6. Motion is imparted to this shaft through the medium of the arm 47, car rying the Y'Oll4z8 at its lower end to engage with a cam-groove (not shown) in the vertical face of'the dish 49011 the shaft 16, while the cutter-arbor is rotated through the medium of its pinion 51 and gear 52 on the rock-shaft t6 and the gear 52 on the shaft 16.

. 53 is a sleeve loosely mounted on one end of the shaft 4:6 and is adapted to have a reciprocating movement on said shaft through the medium of the arm 54:, secured to said sleeve and carrying a roll atits lower end to engage with the wiping-cam 55, secured to the vertical face of the dish 56,(sholwn more clearly at Fig. 2,) which disk is secured to the shaft 16.

57 and 58, Figs. 1, 2, and 9, are tube-carrier arms rigidly mounted on the sleeve 53 and are adapted to reciprocate with ill-i 59 (see also Figs. 6, 7, and 10,) represents the tube-care riers projecting from the free end of these arms, and they are provided with thesemicircular recesses 59, adapted to receive the uncut tubes from the hopper 60 and carry them forward in line with the upper one of the tube-arbors in the manner presently to be described.

61 is asemicircular receiver mounted on they could be merged in a single piece of metal, as the main thing desired is to'provide two distinct receptacles, one to receive the uncut tubes from the hopper and the other to receive the tubes from the arbors after they have been cut into short sections.

63, Figs. 1, t, and 5, is a rod anchored in the standard 1, and 64: is a rack adapted to havea longitudinal movement thereon through the medium of the horizontal gear 65, (see also Figs. 2 and 3,)mounted on the short vertical shaft 66, journaled in the bearing 67. This vertical shaft is reciprocally rotated through the engagement of the pinion 68 (seen in dotted lines at Fig. 2) with the short rac' 'k 69, pivotally connected to the upper end of the lever 70, which lever is pivotally supported on the stud 71 of the upright or standard 1". The lower end of this lever carries a roll adapted to engage with the cam-groove 72, formed in the vertical face of the disk 56.

73 is an ejector secured to the inner end of the rack 6%, adapted to remove the tube-sec tions from the upper arbor as follows: 7 1 and 7 5 are grooved collars loosely mounted on the tube-carrying arbors 5 and 6., Figs. 1 to a and 5, adapted to be alternately engaged by the grooved extension 7 3* of the ejector 7 3. This ejector is alwaysengaged with the grooved collar on the upper arbor, and its engagement with the grooved collar on the lower arbor is the extension 73 of the ejector.- 7 9, Figs. 1,

2, 5, and 10, is an arm depending from the outer end of the ejector-rack 64:, and it ourries the rod 80, adjustably secured-thereto.

The head portion 81- of this rod is adapted both to remove the cut sections from the receptacle 61 and also to placean uncut tube onto the arbor from which the tubular sections have just been discharged'in the manner presently to be described.

The free end of the lower tube-arbor or the arbor in the cutting-field is automatically engaged by the center 82, Fig. 5, as follows: 88, Fig. 2, is a vertical rod journaled in the brackets 84., and it carries at its lower end the arm 85, having the roll 86 adapted to be engaged by the cam portion 87 of the disk 56 to effect a partial rotary movement of said shaft. 88 is an arm on the upper end of said shaft, with its free end embracing the pin 89, prdjecting from the rod 90, which rod is connectcd to the center and has a longitudinal movement in the bearing 91.- When there eeewe e em one 05 %he twee-where the cetfaing-fiem, the center eetemefiicefiy engaged therewith and released; therefmm as seen as the F N Tees been eat flew sect-fines am? the er? a1" is ebeet fie mews-d the upper "QGSi'I-TZOE.
